Talking Been through security at ATL w/ no id

I've been lucky at ATL to fly through security with just my credit card and a printout of my passport and explaining the lost-id at a club the previous night (tsk tsk long story)... I had to fly for business and the establishment was only open thu-sat; hence had to wait a week to get it back!

The TSA agent was quite understanding and perhaps the jacket/office wear helped out as well.
Other times, i've used my Univ of Texas ID as well! I am surprised some one else has done that too.
(Officially for TSA, as I recall, since it doesnt have a birthdate, it does not qualify fully - but with another form of id, the two can double for a License/pp)
Good luck!

The TSA screener said, "Well, I guess that makes sense" and let her through with no additional screening.
